From award-winning cartoonist Eleanor Davis, this hilarious and heartwarming picture book celebrates kindness, community, imagination, and outdoor play-perfect for fans of The World Belonged to Us and Everybody in the Red Brick Building
It's time for a parade! Why? Because Gabby said so! Gabby and her grandma set out through the streets of their neighborhood, and Gabby invites everyone (well, everyone who is nice) to join her. There's a lot of talent in Gabby's parade: Fatima can double hula-hoop, Rashad can walk like a crab, and Anthony has very, very good boots. Gabby is bossy, but she's also kind, and the resulting parade is silly, noisy, righteous, and just plain fun.
Full of humor and heart, A Very Good Parade is a scrappy celebration of empowerment, kids, and community.

Praise for A Very Good Parade
***STARRED REVIEW***"Gabby is hilariously bossy, and there's a wonderfully off-kilter specificity to the text...The digital art has a cut-paper-and-crayons look that's just right for this galvanizing story's DIY and kid-power spirit. A very good parade-and a truly fantastic book."
Kirkus Reviews
***STARRRED REVIEW***"A triumphant solo picture book debut...Uncorking the joy latent in an ordinary day, it's a bighearted ode to come-as-you-are community and to a child who refuses to march alone."
Publishers weekly
***STARRED REVIEW***"Lovingly assembled, much like Gabby's parade, Davis's lighthearted, inviting vision of urban harmony feels at once fresh and timeless. Bright, stylized illustrations accompany friendly, flowing text and an inimitable parade leader. This is a very good read-aloud and a wonderful book to linger over."
School Library Journal
"A celebration of young Black girls with strong leadership skills and their ability to bring communities together to create joyful art in a safe space."
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
